3233014 - D01 ENGINE NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY / (HESISTANT)

There are decreases in performance, possibly prolonged, during acceleration
Results of the tests
0PRELIMINARY CHECKSAll OKProblems metOperation

First check:

  • whether there is service information on the subject
  • the condition of the air intake circuit
  • spark plugs
Continue to Step 1 Air intake circuit checkRestore correct operation of the intake circuit
Spark plugs not the type recommended by the manufacturer Replace the spark plugs
1CHECKING WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems metOperation
Connect the diagnostic equipment (Examiner or other instruments) to the diagnostic socket.

Check::

  • that there are no faults in the engine management control unit
  • the plausibiilty of the parameters
Continue to Step 2 There are errorsContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
Incoherent parameterContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment and analyse the factors that could cause these inconsistencies.
2ROAD TEST WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems metOperation
Road test the vehicle, reproducing the conditions under which the fault arises, keeping the diagnostic equipment connected

Check::

  • that there are no faults in the control unit
  • the plausibiilty of the parameters, in particular:
  • rail pressure - rail pressure setting
  • air mass
  • engine temperature
  • upstream Lambda sensor voltage
Continue to Step 3 Error arises suddenly in the control unitContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment.
Incoherent parameterContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment and analyse the factors that could cause these inconsistencies.
3LOW PRESSURE CIRCUIT CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the fuel pressure is correct Continue to Step 4 Incorrect pressure: obstructions in the fuel delivery pipeRemove the obstructions in the fuel pipe, and if necessary replace it
Incorrect pressure: tank not sufficiently ventilatedRestore the tank ventilation Replace the spark plugs
Pressure not correct: petrol pump damaged or not correctly supplied Replace fuel pump assembly Op.   1040A70 
4RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the operation of the rail sensor Continue to Step 5 Pressure sensor faultyReplace sensor
5PRESSURE REGULATOR CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the voltage regulator is working Continue to Step 6 Pressure regulator faultyReplace the pressure regulator
6HIGH PRESSURE PUMP CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the operation of the high pressure pump Continue to Step 7 High pressure pump faultyReplace high pressure pump
7CHECK ON FUEL INJECTORSAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the continuity/insulation of the injector wiring; in particular, make sure that the injector operating signal is present See   E5030  PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT Continue to Step 8 No signal, wiring broken Renew the wiring See   E5030  PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
No signal, wiring not broken Replace engine management control unit
8PHASE TRANSFORMER CHECK IN ACTIVE DIAGNOSISAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the operation of the phase transformer in active diagnosis Continue to Step 9 Not workingUsing a voltmeter (graphic is better) check the transformer operating signal and, if necessary, replace the transformer.
9MODULAR MANIFOLD CHECK IN ACTIVE DIAGNOSISAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the operation of the modular manifold in active diagnosis Continue to Step 10 Not workingUsing a voltmeter (graphic is best) check the modular manifold operating signal and, if necessary, replace the modular manifold solenoid valve
10IGNITION OPERATION CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the continuity/insulation of the supply circuit and the coil operation; in particular, make sure that the coil operating signal is present See   E5030  PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT Continue to Step 11 No supply/earth Renew the wiring See   E5030  PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
No operating signal Check the wiring between the coils and the ECU and, if necessary, replace the control unit See   E5030  PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
11CHECKING TIMINGAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the timing is correct Continue to Step 12 Timing not correctEnsure that the timing is correct
12CHECKING CORRECT OPERATIONAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the fault is no longer presentEnd of diagnosis
